gerrymander

If you don't, I shall give the documents in the gerrymander affair to the papers the day after you fail.

It happens every few years that the newspapers are full of more or less excited talk about a "gerrymander."

It was entirely a party fight; for, by grace of the last gerrymander, the nomination carried with it the certainty of election.

It is not settled who is entitled to the authorship of the word "Gerrymander," for which a number of claimants have appeared.

It was from this incident that the word "gerrymander," so often heard in politics in these days, took its name.
